Bon-chan in Tsukishima

Meet Bon-chan, a huge 50 kg turtle that lives in Tsukishima, Tokyo. He's quite popular with the locals, and goes on walks with his owner. During the summer his walks last up to two hours, and he always likes to eat leftover veggies from the local Chinese restaurant.

Seeing unusual pets in Japan is quite common. I'm always surprised at the different varieties of animals at the pet shops here.
